A New Field
Treasure Hunting magazine|February 2019

Although it doesn’t happen to me very often, it is a great feeling when you walk onto a new field in a great location. Especially when, as far as you are aware, it has never been searched before.

A New Field

I was lucky enough to experience exactly this earlier in the year. Having lost one of my most frequented permissions in Lincolnshire to the dreaded green waste, I rang a number of farmers who had previously been kind enough to let me search their land to see if they had anywhere available. All were unfortunately saying “No” until, near the bottom of my list, I finally got a “Yes!” The farmer remembered me and said that if I popped over he would show me where I could go, including two new fields that he had bought from his neighbour the previous year. Now, popping over is not that easy, as I live near Wigan and the farm is in Lincolnshire, some 125 miles away. But I made arrangements to see him early the following Friday, before he went away for the weekend.

Friday took an age to come round, and after a very early start, I battled the M62 across the cold, misty Pennines and fought through the early rush hour traffic south of Leeds. I headed down the Roman road known as Ermine Street before taking a narrow side road into the quiet countryside under a cloudless, ice blue January sky.

The farmer was ready when I arrived and I jumped into his Land Rover and was given a tour of his six fields. It was, however the two new fields that I was most interested in. They still contained the dead stubble from last year’s crop but they were close to a small ancient village and a few hundred yards from the village church. The farmer said that he had been the first person to plough them in living memory and the previous owner had always kept his wife and daughter’s horses on them. He also confirmed that I would be the very first person he had ever let on them and that the last owner, who is an important landowner in the area, had a no detecting policy on all of his land.

Lost and Found?

There have been several instances over my long detecting career where, not only has it has been a delight to be able to help people who have lost things, but also a great thrill when such losses are returned to their owners. I have several memories of such occurrences.
